No probs.
In the meantime, it’s important to eat, drink or take vitamin C regularly throughout the daytime to help form good collagen.

It’s also important for you to observe the following:-
  Forget working with the body bent forwards, or with your head down (in flexion) find another way;
   Help your head to stay as balanced on the body as possible (sit up straight – no slouching!);
   Look at ways of doing your tasks sitting down, wherever possible (this puts head less into ‘flexion’);
  Sit opposite the person you are speaking to always, never keep your head/neck at an angle;
  Unstable Cranio-cervical joints need support – wear a Philadelphia (or similar) collar;
  Your computer screen & your work need to be elevated, so you are looking straight forwards and not hanging head in flexion;

What others say

“Dr. Diana will always hold a very special place in my heart for her selfless devotion to helping everyone, not just the Ehlers-Danlos community. I hate to think what my life would be without her insight and guidance.”
